Having just changed my Master PSU for a modern one, the Simoni design, if the old PSU is off any use to any one (not the metal case it obviously on the new PSU) I can bring it to Cambridge. Otherwise I guess it will be skip. Also note this PSU has the X2 caps changed about 6 years ago.

I also plan to bring other things I no longer need:

Various Acorn tapes
SATA HDs 750-1.5TB in size.
Couple of books
A helping hand
Anything else I find between now and Sept.

Hi,
Oh! It's news to me too! I haven't been to the museum for a good few weeks. I guess it makes sense and would be easy to set up.. They could reuse the write ups that me and several others here wrote up for last year's event

I'm hoping to have a playable (though still not complete ) demo of my Tequila worm game to show off.

Also a reminder that for anyone not on the attendee list (which has been full for some time..) - if you'd just like to pop along (minus kit as there won't be room!) --- you're very welcome; just come along as a regular museum visitor..entry £8 for adults (I think £6 for children).
The museum is doing an "Acorn World" display in the main hall on the weekend of the ABUG meetup which should be of interest to most people here

Does that mean they will have extra exhibits out in the main hall again? That could change the space requirements in the classroom, e.g. I'll probably take space out there instead and do my impression of a tour guide

I think it'll be similar to last year - but I don't have full details as it's a while since I've been over there; I'm going to go over in next few days and I'll find out then and report back here ...

I’m hoping to be there all weekend now but don’t need a table for kit - I’ll just hang out with Tricky with my laptop.

If anyone could bring a Master with the dodgy VLSI CRTC chip that doesn’t display Twisted Brain or Scramble properly that would be very helpful for us to debug the timing mystery please!

Hi Kieran,
My Master has the odd CRTC and I'll be bringing it along. You and Tricky are more than welcome to use.

I'm going to the museum this Friday to do a day's volunteering and will also sort out some kind of table/space planning with one of the staff whilst I'm there. I didn't know til recently that CCfCH are going to do Acorn World in the main hall again. This makes it possible to free up a bit more space in the classroom.

Me, you and Tricky and possibly helpful (Bryan) can be out in the main hall (with our games/demos) along with "Acorn World" exhibits, freeing up classroom space, so could put up a few more last minute places in classroom for the weekend. So I think you'll be fine to bring your kit.

I'll report back on Friday re table plans and number of last minute slots if any more people want to attend and bring kit.

Has anyone got a beeb/master top case they could donate?, condition irrelivant, infact it's just the brown keyboard surround i'm after.
I'm working out a streakless/foolproof retrobrighting technique and want to do some tests on this part before writing up my findings.
I don't want to potentially ruin a good one but something broken/busted up would be fine, thanks

I'm going to see if I can make it on the Saturday (no kit & pay at the door) if possible. I'll be in Cambs the weekend before and later in the month so can I do 3 weekends in Cambs in Sept is the question...

If I can make it I will bring my laptop & Tube Serial Video kit. Perhaps I can borrow Tricky's Beeb with a CRT for a demo. I might encode something else too... my brother gave me a good suggestion for something that may work well.

If anyone wants hardware off me then I'll probably bring a selection along.

I've juggled things around a bit. 20 people in the classroom, 4 people in the main hall.

I went to the museum on Friday and did a count up of tables. We'll have 18 tables in the classroom.. and I think there will be 4 tables in the main hall for games/demos.

I've PM'ed some people asking if they'd mind having a half table (on my guess that they'll be bringing less kit).. essentially to have 4 people with a half table, and remaining 16 each with a full table in classroom. .. The people I've asked tend not to work on hardware projects so much so hopefully this will be fine.
